soul repair

It was dusk when we returned to the room, Guan Lingdao rolled onto the bed and took a deep sleep without waiting for the old man to make a sound.After an hour passed, Guan Lingdao sat up covering his head.

When the old man taught the door rules, his voice was high or low.When the voice is not high, the explanation is detailed, with examples one by one, and the description is very careful.The old man seemed to be giving a big class these two days, his voice was deep and melodious, very powerful, but it was so loud that people couldn't sleep.

I didn't sleep well at night, and of course I didn't have much energy in the morning.Guan Lingdao has been dragging a broom around the hills of Muzhe Palace to clean it since Maoshi. He doesn't care if others disrespect him, and he still greets the disciples of Muzhe Palace with a smile when he sees them.Some people were kind, so he would just say a few more words; some people were not kind, Guan Lingdao didn't bother to talk to them, but he hoped not to quarrel.

When he was about to turn to the back mountain, Guan Lingdao remembered that Song Guzhui didn't let him get close to the female disciple, and thought it would save trouble, so he changed his clothes and went to Ji Qingyan's yard to receive the punishment.

The courtyard was empty, and Ji Qingyan was not there.

Facing the wall and thinking about the past is not thinking about the past, as long as there is a wall, it can be done.Guan Lingdao found a pleasing wall and sat down facing it.

There is a special room in the penalty hall for disciples to face the wall and think about their mistakes, and no one is watching them all day long. After signing in, go in and face the wall. Ji Qingyan asked him to face the wall in his own yard, probably not trusting him.

Not long after, Ji Qingyan came back from the outside.

The person sitting very straight in the corner was Guan Lingdao at first sight, Ji Qingyan looked down at him, Guan Lingdao seemed to have sensed something, turned around and said: "I got up when I was less than Mao, folded the wood The whole palace has been scanned, really."

Song Guzhui said long ago that this kid has been sweeping the floor of Muzhe Palace in a regular manner since early in the morning, without neglecting or cutting corners.Ji Qingyan didn't want to say anything more, quietly sat down in the shade under the pine tree, and picked up a black chess piece with his left hand.

After meditating in the morning, he would sit down and play a few moves of chess, a habit he has had since childhood.

Not long after, there was a slightly heavy breathing sound from the other side of the wall, a little noise, it seemed that the breathing was not smooth, and it was long and short.Ji Qingyan raised his eyes, his brows were barely visible.

What is this kid doing, snoring right under his nose?

There was really nothing to be seen from Guan Lingdao's back, Ji Qingyan quietly walked behind him, his face getting more and more ugly.Guan Lingdao's eyelids were closed, and he snored lightly from time to time. He was sitting so upright, but he was clearly asleep.

Ji Qingyan laughed angrily at him, flicked his sleeve, and slapped Guan Lingdao on the cheek gently.Guan Lingdao opened his eyes immediately, raised his head to look at Ji Qingyan beside him, and said with a stiff smile: "Third Palace Master, you haven't left yet."

This is where he lives, where does he go?

Guan Lingdao really didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't stop his eyelids from fighting. He just relaxed for a moment, and fell asleep just like that.

"You faced the wall and thought for the whole morning, what did you realize?" Ji Qingyan sat down on a stone chair not far away.

Guan Lingdao frowned and pondered, carefully choosing his words: "The disciple has learned a lot. The Lord of the Third Palace is busy with things. Don't worry about my affairs in the future, otherwise I will feel sorry."

Saying this is like saying nothing, Ji Qingyan looked at the blue shadow in front of him calmly: "You can't sleep at night?"

"sometimes."

Ji Qingyan looked down at him for a moment, then picked up a black chess piece from the table: "That night in Baiping Town, you couldn't sleep either?"

The tone of his speech seemed to be mentioned inadvertently, and there was no other meaning at all. Guan Lingdao's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile: "That time when I got up to go to the toilet, I accidentally heard some movement in Mo Zhongxian's room, so I didn't know what to do." Stand at the door and look."

"It wasn't you, and I wouldn't have noticed that he was using soul magic." Ji Qingyan looked at him, the dark light flowing in his eyes, "I almost thought you could hear the voice of the soul."

Guan Lingdao smiled quickly: "I also hope that I can hear it. Then I can be by the third princess's side every day. It's a pity that my disciple doesn't have that ability."

Ji Qingyan stared at him for a moment, his veins twitched slightly because of the smile on his face, and he turned his head away: "I told you to face the wall here and think about your mistakes, not to sleep here, and then let me see you close your eyes. Eye, I will teach you how to play chess myself."

Guan Lingdao said with a smile: "My disciple has mastered the rhythm since he was a child. He can play the piano, blow the flute and play the Hu, but he can't write and play chess. Please don't teach me how to play chess, Master Sangong."

Ji Qingyan said lightly: "Do you know the rhythm?"

"Understood."

Ji Qingyan's mind went blank for a moment.

Knowing the temperament, playing the qin and flute, such an elegant thing, how can it be considered inappropriate for Guan Lingdao?What kind of music can he play, high mountains and flowing water, sunny spring and white snow?Can't imagine.

In front of Ji Qingyan's eyes appeared a disciple who was talking and laughing happily, playing the piano and courting.

"The Lord of the Three Palaces also understands rhythm?"

"will not."

Guan Lingdao quickly comforted him: "The third palace master is rare in the world, and is extremely elegant. In the future, someone will play the piano to court the third palace master. It's okay even if he doesn't know the rhythm."

Ji Qingyan held a chess piece in his hand, his face turned green: "Face the wall and think about your mistakes."

He closed his mouth after saying this, his face was extremely ugly, Guan Lingdao quickly smiled and looked at the blank wall, thinking that this man was fine just now, why he got angry so easily, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him glance.

Ji Qingyan's eyes fell on the chessboard, without raising his head, he said coldly: "Face the wall."

Facing the wall, not looking at him!

The walls make life feel like years, Guan Lingdao sat motionless, boring, and after a while, he heard Ji Qingyan's breathing calm down, stood up and went back to the house.

Facing the wall all day, fell asleep after returning to the house.The old man's voice was high and low, and Guan Lingdao was controlled by this voice, so he was naturally miserable.But now Ji Qingyan is closely guarding him, he dare not do anything at night, he can only endure it temporarily, and wait for the limelight to pass.

The next morning he just opened the door, unexpectedly, Shi Knock was standing at the door without saying a word.

"You want something from me?" Guan Lingdao let him in, "I have to go to the inner wall of my princess's yard now, what's the matter?"

Shi Knocking's complexion was extremely complicated. He took out a roll of paper from his wide sleeve and spread it on the table: "What is this?"

Guan Lingdao looked down and said, "This is the paper for my entrance exam, why is it here with you?"

Shi Knock took a deep breath: "This morning, Deacon Qin asked me to bring the test paper to see the third palace master."

"I haven't?" Guan Lingdao raised his heart.

"I answered thirteen of the [-] questions correctly, and I am only one question away from passing. Deacon Qin wants the Lord of the Third Palace to decide whether or not to let you pass." Shi Knock frowned slightly, "But I came to find you That's not the reason."

"What's the reason for that?"

Shi Knocking sound pointed to a passage on the paper, and read: "Get up at midnight, exercise for three quarters in the morning, clean inside and outside, clean and dustless—where did you hear this paragraph? And this paragraph——" He Then he pointed to the following lines: "Where did you see it?"

These were all the results of the old man's midnight lecture, Guan Lingdao's heart moved slightly, watching him remain silent.What should I say now, could it be that he made it up?

Shi Knocking's face was ugly, he looked up at him and said: "I have read these sentences you wrote before, they are indeed the gate rules of the Shangqing Palace. However, these are not our current gate rules, but the previous ones. Shangqing's gate rules."

Guan Lingdao was a little surprised when he heard that this was the Shangqing sect's rules, but he was really stunned when he heard the last sentence.

"What?" he said.

"The gate rules of the former Shangqing Palace are locked on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion, and have never been circulated. Even the disciples of the Shangqing Palace have not seen it. Where did you see it?" The voice was a little anxious, and he was about to turn his head and leave after speaking, "I have to tell the third palace master about this."

Guan Lingdao hurriedly pulled him back: "Are you sure it's Qian Shangqing's school rules?"

"I never miss anything."

Guan Lingdao couldn't react for a while: "I swear that I have never been to the Cangjing Pavilion, and I don't know that this is the former Shangqing's sect rules. Don't tell the third palace master about this, he hates me to death these days, you Tell him, and I'm dead."

Shi Knocking looked at him for a long time with a complex expression, and said in a low voice: "The former Shangqing's gate rules were leaked to the outside. Where did you hear it from?"

Guan Lingdao felt overwhelmed, and said after a long time: "If I tell you the truth, can you promise not to tell others?"

"What's the truth?"

Right at this point, Guan Lingdao suddenly turned his head: "Who's outside?"

The door opened, and there was a person standing outside.

"What truth needs to be kept secret and cannot be told to others?"

Shi Knocking's expression changed slightly, Guan Lingdao closed his eyes, and said with a smile, "So it's Deacon Song, who came to see me so early in the morning."

Song Guzhui's gaze flicked on the faces of the two of them: "The palace master has something to do today, let me look at you facing the wall and think about it, I see you still haven't appeared after the hour, so I came to look for you, I don't want to run into the two of you by chance. whisper."

He looked at the two of them inquiringly, put his head down and put away the test paper, his lips were tightly pursed and he didn't say a word.

Guan Lingdao was worried, so he forced a smile and said, "I'm about to go up, I didn't expect Deacon Song to come in person, let's go."
